EARL GREY IMPERIAL
AN ELEGANT TEA WITH A LITTLE EXTRA BERGAMOT
A PARTICULAR BLEND OF FOUR TEAS FROM CHINA AND INDIA FLAVORED WITH THE NATURAL OIL OF BERGAMOT. THIS FINE AFTERNOON TEA WAS ORIGINALLY COMMISSIONED FOR THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER", EARL GREY.
This tea was in the original five teas that made up our Historic Royal Palace tea line. The tin is a lovely blue that is reminiscent of the sapphires found in the Tower of London's Crown Jewels. We blended a special Earl Grey for this occasion. It is stronger in body than the Earl Grey Supreme (a nod to our British cousins' taste for strong teas.) And the lemony bergamot is also stronger than our other Earl Greys.

In1660", the 17th-century diarist Samuel Pepys had his first ever 'Cup of Tee", a China drink'", then only introduced to Britain. Catherine of Braganza", Charles II's tea-drinking queen", made it fashionable. Queen Anne would often enjoy a cup of tea at Hampton Court Palace and the double wedding of Queen Charlotte's sons at Kew in 1818 was celebrated with a tea party. Until the abolition of import duties in 1784", tea was the expensive preserve of royalty and the rich. Despite its ubiquity in later times", tea is a truly historic", royal tipple.
